Destination Out is one of my fav BN releases and, I think, very underrated (as is McLean generally).
If you like that and don’t know Grachan Moncur III’s “Evolution,” I very highly recommend. It has Hutcherson/McLean along w/ Lee Morgan, Tony Williams, and Bob Cranshaw. Evolution has material that’s a little more “out” than “Destination Out,” enough to piss off crotchety purists bc that material doesn’t swing, but it’s excellent.

Then you should check out "Its Time!!!!!", which was part of the Tone Poet series a while ago. It is a fantastic album with an unbeatable lineup, always walking the fine line between post-bop and avant garde.

Evolution is great and another vote for It’s Time as well, I’ve got a few McLean, Right Now! and a good from the 70’s New York Calling On Steeplechase.

Man, if I was already looking forward to Immanuel Wilkins's next album, this conversation with Don Was has me even more hyped up now. I'll give it a proper and attentive listen this weekend.

Doug @ Paladin @Ethos99 has some Ornette BN Box Sets left at a killer price for anyone looking. Check the PBC thread in the members section. There are not too many left out there.

1) No
2) Toss, unless it's got numbering on it.
3) For TP, I use these (Single pocket, no flap). A bit loose, but I like them.
OVERSIZED 4 mil 13 inch LP Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Crystal Clear CPP-25 Sleeves to a Pack

Apologies if this has been covered earlier in the thread, but what’s the verdict on the Blue Note Classic series? They seem like great values, although some of the Discogs reviews mention pressing issues. Looking at these two specifically.

Moanin’ had pressing problems, this may have been fixed in the recent pressings I suppose. Somethin Else was good.Apologies if this has been covered earlier in the thread, but what’s the verdict on the Blue Note Classic series?

I lucked out on my copy of Moanin' but Soul Station from the same pressing run was an uplayable mess. Overall they were great deals, now with the latest price increase they are just good deals.Apologies if this has been covered earlier in the thread, but what’s the verdict on the Blue Note Classic series?

All mine are really good. There have been a few hiccups in the past. Really good remastering and very good value for $25. I would recommend getting them from a reputable online store.Apologies if this has been covered earlier in the thread, but what’s the verdict on the Blue Note Classic series?

Just seeing this but MoFi is doing a One Step of Somethin Else in case you weren’t aware.

But it won't be released until 2026.
I still preordered it knowing it likely won't be released until next year (or later)

True but by 2026 the MMJ will cost $900 so the one step will seem like a steal!But it won't be released until 2026.

And those in it just for the music will have the classic series Optimal pressing and laugh their way to the bank!
